Claims

A system for communication access to a drop location,
A duct having a conduit portion with a hole formed therethrough and including one or more communication lines and an attachment portion for attaching the duct to a generally flat surface;
An access box including a base and a cover, wherein the access box is disposed on the base; a mounting section formed on the base; a slack storage section formed on at least one of the base and the cover; A communication line coupling device mounting area, wherein the mounting section is configured to overhang the outer shape of the duct and project from itself, and the slack storage section is accessed from the conduit portion One or more guides for sending a communication line to the coupling device attachment area and storing an excess of the accessed communication line, wherein the communication line coupling device attachment area comprises the accessed communication line; Connect the drop cable to the coupling, adder Data, and configured to receive at least one of the splice system.

The system of claim 1, wherein the coupling device attachment area is configured to receive at least one of a fusion splice, a mechanical splice, a coupling, and an adapter.

The system of claim 1, wherein the duct is formed of a flexible material.

The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more communication lines comprise one of a plurality of loose optical fibers and a fiber ribbon cable.

The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more communication lines comprise at least one of a coaxial cable, a communication copper wire, and an electrical wire.

The system of claim 1, wherein the duct attachment portion comprises a collar, the collar further comprising an adhesive backing disposed on at least one surface thereof.

The mounting section further includes an overhanging bridge support disposed between the mounted duct and the removable cover, the overhanging bridge support adding strength to the mounting section and exposing The system of claim 1 covering an accessed communication line being accessed.

A method for providing communication lines in a corridor of an existing MDU, MTU, or other similar residential or commercial building, comprising:
